CANBERRA, Australia—Sophia Lin, a Taiwanese representative in Australia, attended the first showing of Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Canberra Theatre on March 29. It was her second time seeing the Shen Yun show, and she shared her experiences at the VIP reception afterwards.
“The way it changes and blazes a new trail, it’s just so exuberant and vivid. It’s also extremely original and creative. It expresses the 5,000 years of Chinese civilisation, and gives us all a unique way of looking at things. I think the design of the programs and the colour of the costumes, it was all so dazzling to the eyes of the audience [members].
“It just brings people so deeply into the experience. The performers’ artistic skills were so deft and dexterous, I just can’t describe it. I think it’s just terrific—their performance is so special. It can really fascinate an audience.
“I think it’s leading people to ponder. I especially felt that a few of the melodies of the songs really lead people to another realm. I feel that this opens the eyes of the spirit. … It’s not about using your worldly eyes to see it, you have to look deeper, experience it more deeply, and use your spirit to see it—that’s how to get a hold of the truth, kindness, and beauty of this performance.”
Ms. Lin said that as a Taiwanese and someone with a background in Chinese culture, Shen Yun has an especially big impact on her. “We can truly experience it from our hearts. That’s why there’s such a huge response to this show in Taiwan.
“This performance is so original and shows such great kindness. Every time I see it I’m extremely moved.”
